Hi Dénes,
Please could you explain your batch number a little for me? Numbers with / are rare and I don't see any number like 700/xxx in the data. In fact, there are only about 17 entries with 6 digit numbers, the vast majority are 5 digit, then 7 digit in early '44 and 9 digit late '44 till end of data early'45.
The only 6 digit with 700xxx I see is 700420. Is that the sort of number you are looking for or, would it be 700/420 in your case?

Cheers

Interestingly, the only six-digit DB 605 A-1 Motornummern that I have in my admittedly-limited database file, that begin with “7,” are a group of eighteen that were shipped to Finland. These range sporadically from 705096 to 708919. There may be others, but I have been unable to enter them into my database file yet.
Respectfully,

Hi again,
The manufacturer id that seems to start with or incorporate a "7" in the batch part of engine number (apart from sevens in the actual serial) is as Tomislav listed earlier:
"Daimler-Benz Motoren GmbH (Genshagen Kreis Teltow)
Factory code hsq
Engine serial numbers:
7xxxx - A-1
007xxxx - A-1, B-1, AM, ASM, AS0, ASM0, G
117xxxx - D, DB, DM, DM0"

Cheers

SM
